To add on to what Carey said, there was data released a few months ago that documented a decline in the frequency of trade winds over the last couple of decades, probably a result of warming. That said, I'm sure this was not unprecedented. In the winter of 1994-95 it did not rain in Volcano (which normally gets more than Hilo) for two or three months, and a lot of people's catchment tanks went dry including mine. I'd be surprised if Rainbow Falls was flowing then. But then, it wasn't a solid drought like now - the kona storms eventually came.

I seem to recall it being said that this is an el nino year. The winter is supposed to be drier and cooler. I've noticed the lack of rain for the last few weeks. Before that, someone on this forum was comlaining about the rain.
according to the surf forecasters, this is neither an el nino nor la nina winter.
I dunno. I just remember reading articles like the ones below during the summer.
